What is equine nutrition?

Equine nutrition is the study and practice of providing horses with the proper balance of nutrients to support their health, performance, and well-being. It involves understanding the dietary needs of horses based on factors such as age, activity level, breed, and health status. Proper equine nutrition includes the management of forage, grains, supplements, vitamins, and minerals to ensure horses receive all essential nutrients. Good nutrition helps prevent diseases, maintains healthy weight, and supports optimal performance, whether for leisure, work, or competition.

How to get a job in equine nutrition?

The primary qualifications for getting a job in equine nutrition depend on the role, but they usually include a bachelor's degree in a field like animal science or veterinary medicine and several years of experience in the equine industry. Equine nutritionists often carry up to 50 pounds, so physical stamina is important. You also need computer proficiency, familiarity with horse anatomy, and the skills to interact with horses and clients at trade shows and other industry events. This job mixes science and marketing, so the more experience you have with both, the easier it is to get a job in equine nutrition. Interpersonal skills are also important for convincing potential customers to try your products. Fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of a job in equine nutrition requires flexibility, creativity, and often, the ability to travel as needed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an equine nutritionist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Equine Nutritionist, you need a solid background in animal science, equine physiology, and nutrition, typically supported by a bachelor's or master's degree in animal or equine science. Familiarity with diet formulation software, laboratory analysis tools, and nutritional assessment systems is often required. Strong communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills set top professionals apart in this field. These abilities ensure the development of optimal feeding programs, enhance equine health, and support effective collaboration with veterinarians, trainers, and horse owners.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in equine nutrition when working with diverse horse populations?

Professionals in equine nutrition often encounter challenges such as managing the unique dietary needs of horses with varying ages, breeds, and activity levels. Balancing rations for horses with metabolic disorders, weight management issues, or specific performance demands requires ongoing assessment and communication with owners, veterinarians, and trainers. Additionally, staying updated with the latest research and adapting feeding plans to different management systems or available forages can be demanding but is essential for optimal horse health.

Job description

As Commercial Operations Manager, you are the central link within Roose. You oversee daily operations, act as the point of contact between Roose and the wider ECG Group, and work closely with the Logistics Manager to ensure customers can always rely on excellent service. You manage the Administrative Assistant/Warehouse Operator and step in as back-up for the Logistics Manager and Warehouse Admin when needed. In short: a broad and responsible role in a dynamic SME that is continuously evolving.

What you will do
  • Be responsible for the purchasing of goods and sales activities.
  • Financial follow-up and reporting: you monitor payments, invoices and payroll administration, prepare monthly stock valuations and reporting for ECG, and follow up on KPIs with concrete actions when budgets come under pressure.
  • Quality management (BIO & GMP): you coordinate the quality systems, from documentation to audit preparation, in close collaboration with the Logistics Manager and the Administrative Assistant.
  • Technical and facilities management: you follow up on maintenance, inspections, insurance and replacement of the vehicle fleet and company equipment, and manage technical and facilities-related incidents from start to finish.
  • Process optimisation: you identify opportunities to improve processes, costs and systems based on operational data, and translate them into concrete, measurable improvement actions.
Who are you?

You recognise yourself in the following profile:

  • You have at least 5 years of experience in an operational or coordinating management role, preferably within an SME environment.
  • A bachelor's or master's degree in business administration, logistics or agribusiness is an asset, but strong practical experience is at least equally valuable.
  • You are highly organised, think analytically and communicate clearly.
  • Discretion and integrity come naturally to you, as you will have access to financial, payroll and strategic information.
  • You are fluent in Dutch, French and English.
  • Experience with quality systems (BIO, GMP) and financial reporting is a strong plus, as is an affinity with the agricultural sector.
  • You are confident using MS Office, particularly Excel at an advanced level, and ERP/TMS systems such as MEVO do not intimidate you.
What we offer
  • A varied role with real impact on Roose's daily operations and future growth.
  • Short communication lines within a growing SME, embedded in the international ambitions of Equine Care Group.
  • Flexible daytime working hours and a role in which no two days are the same.
